The Chosen has done an exceptional job of presenting a holistic view of Jesus, the only one truly worth following.
As someone who has dedicated their life to studying the Bible and teaching adults for over four decades, I've found that the series, Chosen, truly captures the essence of the Messiah. Every Sunday afternoon, we gather as a church family to watch this series, and the insightful questions it sparks are truly remarkable. This portrayal of Jesus is something that needs to be seen by as many people as possible. In American churches, our preaching has often been skewed, focusing on one aspect of the Savior over others. But we're called to follow Jesus as he is, not a version we've created for ourselves. To do otherwise is simply idolatry. The Chosen has done an exceptional job of presenting a holistic view of Jesus, the only one truly worth following. It's a series that strikes at the heart of what it means to be a follower of Christ, challenging us to see beyond our preconceptions and embrace the full measure of the Messiah.

The Chosen brought me closer to the authentic Jesus than any other depiction ever has. It ignited a passion within me to spread this series throughout the world.
I've spent my entire life as a Christian, consuming every portrayal of Christ in film and television that I could find. Yet, it wasn't until I watched "The Chosen" that I felt a profound connection to the authentic Jesus. From the very first episode, when Jesus called upon Mary Magdalene, I was hooked. I knew this was something special, something different. The series ignited a passion within me, a dedication and determination that I had never felt before. I was compelled to treat it with a reverence that was new to me. I wanted to see this series reach every corner of the world, just like the shepherd boy in the first episode who declared the birth of Jesus, insisting that people must know. From that moment on, I was all in, and I've remained so ever since. "The Chosen" has had a profound impact on my life, deepening my faith and bringing me closer to the Jesus I've always sought to know.

We see 'The Chosen' as a ministry with a reach beyond our own, and we're honored to support its mission. We offer our 'loaves and fishes', trusting God to magnify the impact.
We began 'The Chosen' in 2020, and while the initial episodes were engaging, it was the latter half of season one that truly captivated us. The moment Jesus calls Matthew was profoundly moving, bringing us all to tears. Inspired, we chose to contribute, hoping others might feel as deeply as we did. Our love for the show has only grown deeper since then. We appreciate how it brings the gospels to life in a real, meaningful, and relatable way.

I have a 10 year old son who was recently diagnosed with Autism. I have hope, pride and a grateful heart…but still, in the very depths of my heart, was the fear: “How can he serve you if He doesn’t understand the concept of an unseen Father?” I prayed and God answered. I gave The Chosen a chance. Once we realized that Matthew’s character was autistic, I fell on my knees and wept for maybe an hour. Seeing Jesus telling Simon “get used to different” still brings tears of joy. Jesus saw Matthew’s value. He understood he was different but not less useful than his other disciples. But the most important lesson was that Matthew had the capacity to love and willingly gave his life to Jesus on his own accord. Every episode felt like God Himself telling me, “look! I will work through your son, and he is no different than my other sheep. Your son not only will be able to know but love Me and serve Me in ways you cannot imagine”. I see the correlation between making Matthew’s character autistic and a tax collector, but I felt God inspired it on purpose so I could see how far He can take my son. My son’s name is Mattias, the Hebrew version of Matthew. My son not only understands that Matthew in The Chosen is like him, but he willingly came to us to get baptized and accept Jesus into his heart. Our pastors and I asked him if he understood what it means: he knew Jesus for sure. Not only did he get baptized but he recently wrote in his closet door “God is good”, stating that he feels God in his room with him. You have NO IDEA how much the show helped my husband and I to know and understand that our Matthew, is loved, has purpose and will grow into the man of God, we know he will be. I’m sure the Holy Spirit is working overtime inspiring the writers, the cast, and everyone involved. Thank you for being a vessel, for being a beacon of light and hope! The world will get used to different.

Watching Chosen, we were moved to tears, filled with hope. If Jesus could heal then, he can certainly heal our boy now.
My husband and I first discovered Chosen on Netflix. My husband, being a new and eager believer, was instantly captivated by its powerful message. We have two children, our four-year-old son Liam, who is non-verbal and autistic, and our three-year-old daughter, Emily. Watching the healing episode in season 3 was a profound experience for us. We were moved to tears, thinking about our son and the miracles that Jesus performed. We found ourselves filled with hope, believing that if Jesus could heal then, he can certainly heal our boy now. We live on a low income and times have been tough, especially with my husband being out of work. But we felt so blessed by the show that we wanted to contribute in whatever small way we could. Thank you for sharing the miracles of Jesus with the world in such a powerful and spirit-inspired way. Your work is truly a blessing. Keep up the great work!

'The Chosen' brought me hope and a sense of God's love during my darkest hours. I'm profoundly grateful for it.
I'm a hospital chaplain and, despite my passion for the job, chaplaincy during COVID was heart-wrenching, with people passing away isolated from their families. I felt overwhelmed until, on one Sunday, three individuals recommended 'The Chosen'. I watched the first three episodes that very night and now view one daily. 'The Chosen' brought me hope and a sense of God's love during my darkest hours. I'm profoundly grateful for it. Thank you!
